STATISTICS REGARDING DISEASES.
Reports to the Health Board Show Compar-
atively Small Death Rate in Indianapolis.

All the energies of the city Health Board have
been exercised during the last two weeks in
preventing the spread OF diphtheria and scarla-
tina both Of which have threatened to become
epidemic. Their efforts have resulted in almost
Kidding the city of the diseases. During the
last week only eleven cases eff diphtheria were
reported and four of scarlatina Two weeks ago
several cases Of measles developed in the southern
part of the city, but by careful work the board
prevented any spread of the disease To show
to what extent the three common contagious
diseases-diphtheria. scarlet fever and measles
have existed during the year 1886 and the
first part of the present year. Secretary carp
compiled the following table from. the reports
received at the health Office:

WHAT we call corners" are unknown in
the London stock market. The ideas OF COM
mercial honor and the methods Of business
that prevail there render it impossible to
carry out such schemes. a London stock
broker who recently questioned on the
subject, said: Every broker who starts out
on any such line of proceeding as that would
find that we would let him have all the stock
he wanted, but word would be- passed around,
and lie would find he could not sell to any
body when he made the corner. Corner
making is regarded by US an organized at
tempt to rob, and we would treat the leader
in any such movement would treat or
binary thieves" This is the correct view of
the case, and shows that the standard of COM
mercial honor and honesty in London is much
higher than that which prevails in this coun-
try There is great need of reform on this
line

MINOR MENTION.

Boston writer's seem to be OVERRIDING the
matter little in eulogizing Mrs. Vincent. the
actress who died in that city recently. AS an
instance of her amiable character it is stated
that when her husband, many years ago, ran
away with another woman, she never showed
the least resentment. but always thereafter
spoke of him affeetionately her boy" and
wished him WELL Such instances of placid be-
havor under what ordinarily regarded as
very trying circumstances, are not uncommon
smong actresses Of the present day; but their
conduct is not usually ascribed to amiability.
This Mrs. Vincent, by the way, deserved a po-
sition of honor among founders of the faith-cure
school. 1t was her custom to call q physician
when she was ILL she treated him with great
consideration, and religiously purchased the
medicines which he prescribed, but never
touched them afterward. She declared, howev-
er, that they did her much good. and would on
no account vary the habit OF buying them.
FEATURE of the celebration of President
Diaz's birthday few days ago was the pre-
sentation Of petition to Mrs. Daz. signed by
400 women and girls employed in two ciga-
rette factories in the City of Mexico. the poor
women appealed to Mrs. Diaz to ask the Presi-
dent to use his influence with the owners Of the
two factories to the end that they would reduce
the days task from 2, 700 cigarettes to $500.
They stated that very few were able to perform
the work now required of them within their
working hours, which are from A. N. to P. NJ.
An ordinarily humane person might be moved
to sympathize with the women and girls sub
jected to these hard conditions if it not for
the cigarette smokers. What would this valua-
BILE and interesting class of humanity do with
out their daily supply Of cgarettesl Is their
happiness to be sacrificed TO the silly within of a
few hundred and grlsl Perish the

declare their sympathy with the convicts and
take steps to formulate national appeal of
workingmen for executive clemency. The
plan is to choose certain day next month on
which the labor men in every State IN the
Union will meet and oass resolutions de-
nouncing the verdict and expressing sympa-
thy with the doomed men. Oct. IA is
already suggested. Each Of these meetings
is to elect delegate who will meet with the
other delegates chosen. The delegates will
then go in body to Springfield. ILL.,, and call
on Governor Oglesby to present their protest
against the hanging of the convicts. This is
the plan, but its projectors may find it diff
cult to carry out. 1t is hardly credible that
any considerable number of American work
ingmen will be willing to ally themselves
with so bad a cause, to array themselves
openly on the side of lawlessness and crime.

THE annual recurrence of the Indiana
State fair has become event OF interest to
a great many people. The reputation of the

concourse of visitors grows larger from year
to year. The fair is evidently deserving
of popular patronage. 1t opens tomorrow,
and will continue during the week.

AS TO DIALECT POETRY.

OF dialect verse as it commonly appears,
forms feature Of certain popular novels, the
Journal has frequently felt constrained to
express avery limited admiration. This lack
Of approval does not come from prejudice in
favor Of literature written as at is spoke" by
cd ucated people, though such prejudice is
hereby confessed, nor from any doubt that
poetical thoughts may be uttered in homely
phrase. The objection made is that the pc
culiar forms Of speech in vogue among GER
tain class Of Westerners-not 'Hoosiers"
EXCESSIVELY not given correctly. Words
Ore put into their mouths which they never
8use, and distinctive and characteristic COLO
qualisnns find no place in what is accepted by
many readers as q literal translation of dialect
prevailing in Indiana, but which is really
remarkable combination Of New England
idioms, negro phraseology and miners slang,
the like Of which is found nowhere out of
print. The Boston Transcript newspaper
of a semi-Iterary character, publishes some
verses Of this description by an Indiana
writer, with which il is so pleased that it calls
attention to them as presaging the ''rise of
another new Western poet Of the best Amer
jean school, The subject of these verses is
